We at the North Okaloosa Amateur Radio Club (NOARC) sincerely hope you decide to come to our 3rd annual event. We are capable of hosting and generating a multitude of vendors and spark interest in a wide area of the Gulf Coast of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and even parts of Georgia. We host a nightly net on our repeater called the Gulf Coast VHF Training Net (GCVTN) which reaches an area surrounding the Northwest Panhandle of Florida, lower parts of Alabama and many others. We are also associated with the Playground Amateur Radio Club (PARC) of Fort Walton Beach Florida that hosts an annual Hamfest every spring. We participated with them at their 53rd annual show in March, and they are a large input for our fall event that we intend to carry on each year to increase the promotion of the positive character and benefits of the Amateur Radio Hobby to local and surrounding communities.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Dustin Stewart – “DJ” – KI4ZER
